ANTENNA
Outdoor Antenna Grounding
If an outdoor antenna is installed,
follow the precautions below. An
outdoor antenna system should not
be located in the vicinity of overhead
power lines or other electric light or
power circuits, or where it can come
in contact with such power lines or
circuits as death or serious injury
can occur. Be sure the antenna
system is grounded to provide
some protection against voltage
surges and built-up static charges.
Section 810 of the National Electrical
Code (NEC) in the U.S.A. provides
information with respect to proper
grounding of the mast and supporting
structure, grounding of the lead-
in wire to an antenna discharge
unit, size of grounding conductors,
location of antenna discharge unit,
connection to grounding electrodes
and requirements for the grounding
electrode.

Installation Precautions
Place the projector in a well-ventilated
environment.
- To prevent internal heat build-up,
install the projector in a well-
ventilated place.
Do not place anything near the
projector as this may block its air
vents. If the air vents are blocked,
the internal temperature will
increase.
- Do not place the projector on a
carpet or rug. If the vent is on the
bottom, use the projector on a solid
level surface
and ensure the vent
is
not blocked.
- Be sure to prevent foreign objects
such as paper debris from entering
the projector.
- Leave enough distance (30 cm or
more) around the projector.
Do not place the projector in a hot
or humid environment.
- Do not place the projector in a hot,
cold, or humid environment.
Do not place the projector in a place
where it will easily attract dust.
- This may result in fire.
Never open any cover on the
projector. There is a high risk of
electric shock.
The projector is manufactured using
high-precision technology. You may,
however, see tiny black dots and/
or bright colored dots (red, blue, or
green) that continuously appear on
the projector screen. This is a normal
result of the manufacturing process
and does not indicate a malfunction.
The remote control may not work
in an environment where a lamp
equipped with electronic ballasts or
a three-wavelength fluorescent lamp
is installed. Replace the lamp with an
international standard lamp for the
remote control to work normally.
